Fincher & Co. - 'The Dividing Line' - Sauvignon Blanc

About the Producer

Liam has spend the last decade working incredibly closely with the New Zealand wine industry, both as the buyer for UK supermarket chain Waitrose and as a winery consultant helping over a dozen wineries achieve their goals of succeed in the international market.

Creating wines in New Zealand at some point seemed an obvious step, and his friendship with Marlborough winemaker Ben Glover took him to the Awatere Valley. Identifying an outstanding single vineyard site, they have created an outstanding wine, that is extremely reflective of this weathered valley, and the unique style of Sauvignon Blanc it produces.

The artisanal winemaking is reflected in the packaging, designed to illustrate the very high human input that has gone into making these unique New Zealand wines.

Marlborough is New Zealand’s largest wine growing region. It has an enviable international reputation for producing the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world. It also makes very good Chardonnay, Riesling and high quality Pinot Noir.

At over twenty thousand hectares of grapes the region accounts for approximately 2/3 of New Zealand’s wine plantings, of which Sauvignon Blanc vines dominate. Lots of sun, cool nights, low autumn rains and free draining alluvial soils combine to make Marlborough one of the world’s great wine producing regions
